Grief Support Group

Wednesdays at 6:00 p.m. Free

We all experience loss. Loss can have us feel deeply alone. Loss can isolate us from others. Loss can be that sadness that never seems to leave us. Meeting and sharing with others can begin the healing process. Healing is not the absence of pain, but a way to go on with life that is more fulfilling for us and those we love.

Moderator: Brenda Mason, MSS/MLSP

Veterans – Veterans Services

Did you know that there is an Office of Veterans Affairs in every county in Pennsylvania? And the best thing is that there is never a charge for their services. Veterans and their families should never pay to apply for benefits. Each county office is staffed with VA-accredited Veteran Service Officers who directly assist veterans, their families, and survivors to obtain the federal, state, and county benefits for which they are eligible as a result of military service.

Have questions or need assistance? The feel free to contact your county’s Office Veterans Affairs
